MODULE 2:
TOWARDS BIODIVERSITY AND ECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION OF
COMPANIES
The aim of the Module:
Nowadays, it is very common to hear about sustainable businesses. In most
cases, this comes from start-ups that try to follow environmental policies so
that their work activities have less impact on the planet. However, every
company can transform itself ecologically and it is time to do so not only for
the sake of the planet but also for the profitability of the organisation itself.
This is essential if it is to endure over time.
Under this context, the aim of Module 2 “TOWARDS BIODIVERSITY AND
ECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION OF COMPANIES” is to explain the different
tools which could be used by companies in order to carry out a green
transformation of their business. This explanation will come from theory but
also through real cases of companies which have already implemented this
transformation.
